DUBAI - The Indian mother of a four-year-old girl, who was sexually assaulted in a school bus in Dubai, has alleged that the driver lured her daughter to the back seat of the bus by offering her chocolate.

According to the public prosecution, the driver and two conductors, who are employees of Modern High School, abused the girl while she was asleep on the school bus on her way back home.

“During interrogation, my daughter told the police that the driver offered her a chocolate and asked her to go to the back seat of the bus before he started touching her,” Gulf News quoted the mother as saying.

“She may not have been fully conscious but I believe she might have been in half consciousness since she remembers the incident,” she added.

The girl’s parents say the child was sexually assaulted on November 11, the day before her school closed for a 10-day break, and they reported the crime on January 11. (ANI)
